I have the case that came with my Hyperion extended battery and the buttons are hard to push, especially the side ON button. Are these more pliable?

Yes! The side buttons are extremely easy just like not having a case at all.

snaps together. has to be that way so you can easily replace the small battery as needed. the internals (green pcb board) pop out and into the new case fairly easily although you want to test the red panic button does not stick if accidentally if pushed.

No it is thicker. Any covers you had will not work with the thicker battery and back. I use a Hyperion Samsung Galaxy S4 Extended Battery HoneyComb Matte TPU Case.

I honestly didn't have any issue with the buttons. The case fit perfectly on my S4 mini, and was actually pretty tough to get off once it's on the phone. I use the case with the belt clip when I'm at work and it stays in place just fine. :)

I didn't find any issues with pressing the buttons. My overall concern was with how fast the case ripped and wore out. Maybe it's a result of pressing the buttons? If you are looking for a long term case I'd pass on this one until they make it more robust.

The buttons on the case might need more force to press on compared to the neo hybrid spigen.

Yes you'll have to buy a hyperion case for this battery they're like $5. The back sticks out about a half inch more, but having about 2-3 days worth of battery every charge is worth it.

I have managed to squeeze this cover (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004YZL51U) around the battery as long as I leave off the cover that comes with the battery. The soft cover I use is more than adequate to hold in the battery, since the battery presses against it. (Note that you have to give the protective cover a day or two to stretch after the first time you put it on.)

No it as very easy. the case you get may have cutouts for the buttons like mines did.

No, It is more like rubber. It protects the back and the sides, and has a small rise in the front, but it is very small. I like it because it makes it easy to operate the buttons easily on the sides. I had a hard case before but had to push very hard to operate the side buttons. I hope this helps you. Robert

They are recessed in a little bit, but that offers a bit more protection from accidentally pressing them. I had no problems using the buttons with the case on the Ipod.

To be honest I am so confused with this case I don't know how to put it together I bought the 7500mAh battery also and use that case instead I have both batteries and use the pocket charger to carry with me I bought the the second battery as a back up. I do plan to ask Zerolemon how to use the case but the case on the 7500mAh battery slides on very easy more so than the 8500mAh. If you find out how to assemble this case before I do please let me know. I can honestly say having 2 extended batteries is awesome I never go dead wherever I am .....Tomas

It's pretty thick overall. It will be noticeable. The battery works great, but the case breaks pretty easily.

I find them sensitive. They press too easy even when I am just trying to get the phone out of my pocket. I do like the case though despite this flow.

I have a phone with something of the same problem -- it will do strange things if you just put it in your pocket closed -- and the case works pretty well for me. The elastic sides of the case are soft, but the front and back panels are relatively stiff. So long as the phone is not so wide that the elastic pushes the buttons on the sides, they are fairly well protected from accidental presses.

Yes. As written in the review, Hyperion case for extended battery is a decent choice. For me, it works. Some have complained of 'side bulge' fitment issues, but if you install the way I describe it, it should fit fine. Zero Lemon also makes a 'universal' case that does to seem pretty much fit most extended batteries: it has a 'foam' cushion on the innerside. The Hyperion piece is less than $10: it does what it's supposed to. It's not an 'armor' but offers just enough corner protections and a couple of millimeters worth of rise for the front glass.

Yes the volumn buttons are fine but the button that activates vibrate is hard to maneuver.
